Issues with OJS 3.3.0 - Settings/Website display error about shariff HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi @nwoodward ,

unfortunately I still can't reproduce this error on my system. However, your error log gave me a clue on what might be the problem. I updated the repo accordingly. But I am not able to tell if this update fixes the error. Just a guess ...

Could you try to install the plugin from the repo and not from the plugin gallery?

To do this:

1. Please uninstall th plugin via the plugin gallery.
2. Clone the repo (https://github.com/ojsde/shariff/tree/stable-3_3_0) into your OJS plugin/generic folder
3. From the OJS folder run php lib/pkp/tools/installPluginVersion.php plugins/generic/shariff/version.xml

If this fixes the error I will prepare a new relase for the plugin gallery.

By the way, what PHP version are you using?

Best wishes,
Ronald

Hi @azotase,

I looked into this but I am not able to reproduce the issue on my system (OJS 3.3.0.10).

Please have a look at the PHP error log and look for anything containing the text 'shariff'. Sometimes the pages may also be mixed up by outdated cache items. In Firefox, please try to reload the page from the Inspector->Network Analysis page with disabled cache. You could also clear the template cache from within OJS (Adminsitration page).

Do you still have the issue?

Best wishes,

I am getting the same error on my OJS instance (3.3.0.11). I cleared the template cache and the emptied the cache/ directory and then tried again but got the same result. The PHP error, which references the Shariff plugin, is below:

Hi @ronste,
OK, I'll attempt to install the plugin from the repo and let you know how it goes. I'm using PHP 8.0.18.

Thanks,
Nick

Your fix made the trick! Thanks @ronste !

I personally use php 8.0.21 (guess it was due to php 8 ? it was working with php 7.4)

Yes, indeed. There was a warning in PHP 7 which in PHP 8 is now handled as an error.

I published a new release and submitted it to the plugin gallery. Should be available there soon.
